Abstract Rechargeable Al batteries (RAB) are promising candidates for safe and environmentally sustainable battery systems with low-cost investments. However, the currently used aluminum chloride-based electrolytes present a significant challenge to commercialization due their corrosive nature. Here, we report first time, novel electrolyte combination RAB based on trifluoromethanesulfonate (Al(OTf) 3 ) tetrabutylammonium chloride (TBAC) additive in diglyme. The presence of mere 0.1 M TBAC...
TNB molecules exhibiting eco-corona on the surface of carboxylated polystyrene nano-plastic in aquatic environment.
The role of nanoparticle shape in the interaction and adsorption organic molecules on particle surface is an unexplored area. On other hand, such knowledge not only vital for a basic understanding molecule with surfaces but also essential evaluating cellular uptake nanoparticles living organisms. current study investigates silica interactions phthalic acid by using molecular dynamics simulations. Silica two different geometries namely spheroid cuboid varying charge densities along protonated...
We use molecular dynamics simulations and the adaptive biasing force method to evaluate potential of mean between two carbon nanotubes (CNTs), with each surface modified by an adsorbed sodium-polystyrene sulfonate (Na-PSS) polyanion, in aqueous electrolyte media. Changes concentration counter-ion valence can lead qualitative changes interactions polyelectrolyte-modified CNTs. show that presence monovalent NaCl salt, a long-range screened electrostatic repulsion exists This be described...
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were utilized to explore the energetics of formation a graphene–carbon nanotube (CNT) hybrid in an aqueous environment, resulting from intercalation single-walled CNT into gallery defined by two parallel graphene sheets. It was found that graphene–CNT can be divided three processes involving (a) exfoliation sheets repulsive interactions, (b) associated with activation energy barrier, and (c) spontaneous self-assembly/association constituent driven...
The scaling of interaction energy between curved graphene sheets in water with sheet radius and separation was calculated by molecular dynamics simulations.
Abstract This investigation was aimed to enhance the dispersibility of multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) using sodium polystyrene sulfonate (Na‐PSS) polyelectrolyte. Subsequently, electrically conducting, multi‐layer thin films are prepared utilizing layer by assembly method with poly(vinyl alcohol) as a host matrix. The highest extent MWCNT dispersion observed in MWCNT:Na‐PSS ratio 1:9 (wt/wt), which estimated from UV‐Vis spectroscopic analysis. Zeta potential measurements Na‐PSS...
